Film & TV
With the same passion and creativity that she brings to readers in her books, Angie is now producing projects for both film and television.
Movies
Angie’s words don’t just live on the page — they’ve made it to the big screen. The Hate U Give became a critically acclaimed major motion picture in 2018, and On the Come Up followed in 2022.
Two powerful stories, two films that prove her voice resonates far beyond the page.
On the Come Up
Based on Sanaa Lathan, Paramount’s Paramount Pictures President of Domestic Distribution Chris Aronson said: “We’re thrilled to share this incredible adaptation of Angie Thomas’s moving novel with audiences everywhere, across multiple platforms.”
Television
Angie’s storytelling doesn’t stop at the big screen — it’s heading to television too. More details are coming soon.
Production
A Tough Act Productions is Angie’s creative home for bringing bold, diverse stories to life on screen — rooted in Black Girl Magic and Black Boy Joy. Big things are in the works, so stay tuned. In the meantime, follow along on Instagram at @AToughACTPro.
